Yet at one Alabama bookstore, those two feelings are one and the same.The Alabama Booksmith, tucked within a maze(迷宫) of country roads, might be tricky to find, but the trip is worth it for literary enthusiasts. At the small shop, located in Homewood, Alabama, every single book is signed by the authorIt wasn’t always that way, though. The store opened as a rare and u sed bookshop, with a few signed books here and there. Eventually owner Jacob Reiss realized that the signed books were easily the best sellers. He began acquiring and selling signed books and claims that his is the only bookstore in the world that does so.Though the signed books are undoubtedly Alabama Booksmith’s claim to fame, they’re not the only way it differs from most bookstores. Every book in the store is displayed “front out” with their covers in full view. Without rows upon rows of spines, browsing (随便浏览) is a far easier process. Alabama Booksmith isn’t crowded with wall-to-wall shelves, either. Shelves line the walls of the building, leaving a wide open space in the middle. Customers are able to take in the entire collection at once. Every single book is a hardcover, and many are first editions.Despite all that, you don’t even have to pay extra for these books. Except for the ones on a single specialty shelf, all of the books are sold at the regular cover price. Some of the titles are valued at over $100, but you can get them at Alabama Booksmith for $30. What a deal!Sound like a dream come true? Check out these other things only bookworms understand.25. What can we learn about “The Alabama Booksmith”?A. People can find it easily.B. It sold second hand books.C. Some of its books are signed.D. It had the most popular books.26. What can we find about Jacob Reiss?A. He is a book lover himself.B. He tries to make his store modern.C. He considers a lot for customers.D. He creates special book shelves.27. Which of the following is true of the books’ price?A. Most of them are more than $100.B. The signed books are more expensive.C. Regular customers can get a discount.D. Most books are sold at the cover price.CThough “sliced bread” gets the credit, we all know that it is ice cream that deserves the honor of being the world’s best invention. That is probably why on July 9, 1984, former US President Ronald Reagan declared July, National Ice Cream Month, and the third Sunday of the month, National Ice Cream Day.To help Americans perform their civic duty, many US ice cream producers have fun activities lined up. Baskin Robbins is marking the event with the launch of four delicious polar pizzas and a donation program. In honor of July 4th, the company will kick-off the event with Empower Mint. During the second week of July, customers can choose from four new dairy-free flavors. Week three will bring Cookies and Cream Cheesecake, Brownie Batter, and Coconuts for Caramel. Those that do not care for ice cream or wish to celebrate the month without the added calories may want to head to the nearest post office and seek out the collection of “Soda Fountain Favorites” that was released on June 30. The collection of 20 stamps features five delicious frozen treats — a double scoop(勺) ice cream cone, a root-beer float, a banana split, a hot fudge sundae, and an egg cream. Though the last option does not contain any ice cream, it is delicious!Given that the US gives an entire month to ice cream, it should come as no surprise that it is the country’s favorite dessert — one that generates producers about $10 billion annually. A 2015 study conducted by Yahoo Food found that 86% of the population eat the treat at least once a week. Also, despite the rise in unusual flavors, chocolate and vanilla remain the most popular!Finally, it takes an average consumer fifty times to eat a scoop. So the next time you are eating the treat, be sure to test if your ice cream eating skills are just “average” or “outstanding!”28. What can be the best title of the text?A. The origin of ice creamB.

These are the findings reported by a research team from the University of Basel in the journal PLOS ONE.It is estimated that people typically laugh 18 times a day. Researchers have also reported differences related to time of day, age, and gender — for example, women smile more than men on average. Now, researchers from the Department of Psychology at the University of Basel have recently conducted a study on the relationship between stressful events and laughter in terms of sensed stress in everyday life.In the intensive study, an auditory signal from a mobile phone app required participants to answer questions eight times a day at irregular intervals (间隔) for 14 days. The questions related to the frequency and intensity of laughter and the reason for laughing — as well as any stressful events or stress symptoms experienced — in the time since the last signal.Using this method, the researchers were able to study the relationships between laughter, stressful events, and physical and psychological symptoms of stress such as “I had a headache” or “I felt restless”, as part of everyday life. The newly published analysis was based on data from 41 psychology students, 33 of whom were women, with an average age of just under 22.The first result of the observational study was expected based on the specialist literature: in phases in which the subjects laughed frequently, stressful events were connected with more minor symptoms of subjective stress. However, the second finding was unexpected. When it came to the interaction between stressful events and intensity of laughter, there was no statistical correlation (相关性) with stress symptoms. “This could be because people are better at estimating the frequency of their laughter, rather than its intensity, over the last few hours,” says the research team.32. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The purpose of the research.B. The basic theory of the researcher.C. The reasons for people to laugh.D. T he link between stress and laughter.33. What question are the participants probably asked?A. When are you happy?B. Where did you graduate from?C. How did you go to work?D. What makes you laugh?34. What does the speaker mean when saying “I felt restless”?A. He feels bored with his life.B. He must learn psychology.C. He is under hard pressure.D. He needs to do some sports.35. Which of the following may the research team agree?A. Stressful events are related to the subjects’ behavior.B. It’s hard to estimate the intensity of one’s laughter.C. Both results are beyond expectation.D. Women are friendlier than men.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
